So I don't have any pictures of Sam's birthday (weird I know I forgot to bring my camera
when we went up to watch her open her presents) but I definitely wanted to mention it
regardless! :-) What is extra crazy to me is that Sam turned seven this year... where does
the time go seriously?! That means it has been 7 years now since my roommates and I
went on our little adventure to Vegas cause Sam was born on the day we were driving
home from there...which seems so weird cause I remember it like it was yesterday!
Ahhh... the memories :-)
MARCH 26th: Happy Birthday DAD!!
We went out to eat at the China Isle for my dad's birthday and then just came back opened presents and relaxed! Here is a picture of dad opening the John Deere fruit snacks my mom found him for ole' times sake since at one point in time (when I was little) he had a John Deere Tractor himself!MARCH 31st: Happy Birthday Grandma and Goodbye to NICK!
So on that Tuesday evening we all gathered at Grandma's house one to celebrate Grandma's birthday and two to be there when Nick got set apart as an Elder and say goodbye to him since he was entering the MTC the next day...
Here is a picture of the two we were celebrating! I think this is the cutest picture ever! As we all well know as family and anyone else that knows my grandmother... she does not like to take pictures at all, so this is a priceless picture! Nick is going to be such a great missionary and will serve the Hawaiian people so well!
Grandma has that hand on her hip so you know she wasn't exactly thrilled about it but well we caught her in a rare picture taking mood cause she didn't argue too much with us so we had to take advantage and capture as many pictures of her with us as we could! Cindi loves this especially cause they were both wearing purple! :-)
And yes this is an absolutely hideous picture of me but again it is very rare that I am allowed to take any pictures of Grandma, so terrible or not I had to post it because it is very special to me... Oh how I love my Grandmother and how close we are! She will always have a special place in my heart!
I wanted to get her something special for her birthday so I found this musical photo album that plays "You Are My Sunshine" and then I put quite a few pictures of me and my cousins in it that I had already and then she can had more and more of ones she has, til she gets a picture of every single one of her 26 Grandchildren and almost 24 Great-Grandchildren (Britanie is due with a little girl in just a couple of weeks now) She really liked this present... she says it means so much to her :-) The rose on the front is special too because it is a picture of one that I took that was in her yard last summer!So all in all it was a busy but super great last week of March!
